As the new year begins, we’re thrilled to share that WOMEX – the Worldwide Music Expo – is officially opening the Call for Proposals for its 32nd edition in Gran Canaria, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. In 2026, WOMEX once again invites the global music community to come together, celebrating the richness, diversity, and future of music from around the world.
The Call for Proposals is open to artists, DJs, film-makers and music professionals everywhere, encouraging a truly global spectrum of voices and visions. Each year, the official programme is curated by an independent, international jury to be announced in the coming weeks.
The four catagories are:
Showcase | Club Summit | Film | Conference
Proposals can be submitted through the dedicated website: womex-apply.com.
The deadline for submission is Friday, 27 February 2026.
WOMEX is committed to diversity and inclusivity and welcomes submissions from all backgrounds. The organisation encourages proposals that contribute to the diversity of the international music scene, encompassing aspects such as culture, region, gender, styles, performance tradition, and more.
